Picture of a "picked up" Smoky Granite Mica IS-F (not mine)
Grabbed this over from my.IS.. since I didn't see it in here yet...
A new member there just picked up his New SGM IS-F..
This color is just stunning on the IS-F... The wheels look even more amazing!!
I WANT THESE WHEELS... (if they fit my IS350)
Enjoy

With a nice tint that IS-F would look super stealth.. This colour is now my favourite although the Ultimate Blue is pretty sweet too.. 
Allocation in Canada is pretty slim from what my dealer tells me they already have 10 refunable deposits of $500.

Nice ride. I think the charcoal is too subtle for a car like this, but that's my preference. Lovin' the BBS OE wheels, even though the offsets blow.
I saw a Silver IS-F at the Lexus Technical Center on Friday. I didn't know that they existed in Mercury Silver... I even took a photo of it. It still had all the plastic skins on the paint & wheels!
The IS-F wheels do fit the standard IS (we just did it on an IS 250) but the front tires rub the fender liners because the OE front tires are too tall. Don't forget the IS 18" package has 225/40-18 and the IS-F has 225/40-19
Ideally, you would use a shorter front tire on the standard IS, like 225/35-19.
A Fresno dealer with an IS-F? I think they just sold half of their annual IS-F allocation!

Now all we need to test fit is an IS350...

Thanks

They fit, but will cost an arm and a leg. i remember there was a thread about someone who did it in Japan, it looked better on the IS than on the IS-F IMO.

BUT, there was NO technical info on how they worked or clearance issues on that IS350.
It was just a couple of pics of the wheels with 3 lugs on them..
